4 Bellas braved the horrendous head wind yesterday in the Quiraing 10k in Skye, myself, Scott, Emma and Andy. Scott was 2nd overall with a pb of 33.33, Andy was 3rd with a pb of 35.21, Emma won the ladies challenge in 39.45 and I was 3rd with another pb of 45.26. It was a great day out, a very friendly race, £1.50 for all the cakes you can eat and the added entertainment of a belly dancer…..just don’t ask!!! Scott and I have had a deal on for the last 4 years that we could only drink the bottle of champagne he got for his club marathon record when we both got a pb in the same race……..at last!!!!

Yes, it’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for, the new schedule is here! With this week being easy week, the new schedule starts next Monday. There are two main focus points within it: the Bella 5k and the GSR. The sessions have been structured to offer a range of training from hard (e.g. for people focussing on HM training to complete the Club Championship criteria) to maintenance for people who are just coming off a hard racing period (e.g. for people who are doing a lot of hill races at the moment). As usual, there will be a run option on a Monday evening, and the variation within the number of reps and sets should allow poeple to decide how many and what intensity is best for them. Of course, should you want to discuss anything in the schedule or supplementary training then we will do our best to help. Hope you enjoy the sessions, Jonathan 🙂
This schedule uses preparation for the Glasgow HM in early September as its main focus, with sessions appropriate to preparation for lead-up races also included. Please note that any Monday sessions can (and probably should) be replaced by easy runs for those recovering from races in any of the previous weekends. Scott
